Filing returns for taxpayers whose identities were stolen


📚 What This Guide Covers

This article explains what identity-theft victims should do when filing their tax return, including Form 14039.

⚠️ Before You Begin

Confirm whether the taxpayer’s primary and/or secondary SSN was misused so you can determine the correct filing approach.

📊 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Still plan to file a return

Taxpayers who may have been victims of identity theft are still expected to file a return.

Step 2: Use the guidance for Form 14039

IRS instructions for Form 14039 state:

If you are unable to file your return electronically because the primary and/or secondary SSN was misused, attach this form and documentation to your paper return and submit to the IRS location where you normally file.

For more information, see IRS Form 14039: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f14039.pdf
